          I'd like to say thanks to the patient pioneers who're playing a role in the development of this treatment. I'm very keen to see how this pans out.

              I am always a skeptic about new treatments, but having seen Dr. C's videos...I'd say they appear pretty straight forward, certainly don't seem to be over-hyping, and merit further investigation. I'm intrigued about the future potential of his technique. And I appreciate someone who seems to be doing a reasonable scientific technique rather than selling "snake oil" as so many doctors in various fields attempt to do.

                I also believe there is some merit and further investigation due A-Cell based on what we know of it to date, however the concept of verification is seldom discussed and even more importantly "presented" at this early stage. So, I am hoping that Drs. Cooley and Hitzig will continue to present their findings that can be verified by third party docs that do not have any financial interest in their respective clinics. In time as more docs use Acell and document, we can chart the progress as well as the shortcomings of this product. This is especially critical within the confines of hair multiplication, hair farming, whatever. Will there be trials conducted and documented with Acell?

                Further, I am always concerned that many of these new products do not address the cause of genetic related hairloss. I am all for the healing benefits of PRP and repair potential with A-cell however anything beyond that is still very grey. Obviously I am not against further research and want to commend these docs who are giving their time to it. With a patent, the financial rewards will more than compensate their time.

                I am finding a fair amount of younger guys acclaiming to PRP with the hope that these treatments will stop or reverse their progression of MPB. Yet to date, there is no scientific or clinical proof to this. I am not going to point my finger at anyone at present but I am hearing about more docs "marketing" PRP treatments for simply treating hairloss. There is no surgery involved with these patients nor are any of them in need of HT repair.

                  Acell

                  I am currently healing from a Cooley/Acell procedure. My donor scar repair was treated with acell as were my grafts head etc. Ive had several procedures with other doctors in the past. I can report so far that the healing process has thus far been remarkable. Dr.Cooley is a truly gifted physician.

                        how long ago was your procedure? would you mind saying the price of your transplant? I'm interested in having a procedure by Dr. Cooley.

                            Within last week. I would prefer to comment on healing experience etc. I would Like to refrain from discussing price other than to say pricing is perfectly reasonable and comparable to the norm. We did some plucking along withvtraditional grafting.
